How far off a real 67 'Tang Fastback (Fully restored) .....????

Ooooooohhh!!!............. Bout £25,000 I'd say ....................

Closest I could find ...FORD MUSTANG CLASSIC LHD CONVERTIBLE 1967 AUTOMATIC on eBay (end time 29-Mar-10 00:27:34 BST)

Yer can add another £8K to £10K for the fastback

Ok if you like driving everywhere in straight lines, going around corners is a real eye opener.

the injun alone will cost yu way over 5 grand. - yu gotta get a 60's/70's lump from the states, unless yu want major emission controls tying yu up .

then yu gotta get all the windows and trim etc...... yu wont get much change from 30-40 grand total.

Get a donor XR4i or even better an XR4x4 and you wont have to worry one bit about stopping or handling.

There are lots of bell housings available to put a Rover V8 onto ford trannies so putting a V8 in is just a case of buying a rusted out RRC 3.9 or crashed P38 4.6.

I'm undecided on kit cars in general but this one has a lot of merit. I always loved the Mustang shape

Cobra is ok. At least the only thing yankie about it is the engine.

landowner · Mar 24, 2010

All very nice but have you noticed that they all get shot of em just before the SVA test.

It's an awful lot of work to get them looking like original and comply with current regulations

Wouldn't catch me buildin one:behindsofa:
